President Trump is giving Cornell the benefit of the doubt as the University deals with serious gang rape allegations … and maybe it’s one Ivy Leaguer looking out for another.

Trump — a University of Pennsylvania grad — was asked by reporters Thursday whether Cornell has done enough to investigate a former student’s claim that she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Cornell frat bros.

POTUS replied … “Well, I don’t know that much about it, but I think Cornell’s a fine school and I’m sure they’ll do what’s right.”

His comments come almost a year after the Trump administration reached a $60 million agreement with Cornell that restored federal funding and ended pending federal investigations into the university.

As TMZ has reported, seven Cornell Chi Phi fraternity members are accused in a civil lawsuit of drugging and gang-raping a 20-year-old student in 2024 … and one of the accused allegedly sent a message about “free p***y” in a Snapchat group chat.

The Tompkins County D.A. has since reopened the criminal investigation and plans to present the case to a grand jury … while Cornell says its own Title IX investigation resulted in suspensions, expulsions, and other punishment.

So, while Cornell is facing plenty of heat over how it handled the case … Trump isn’t piling on.
